List of Certified Courses
The University Writing Proficiency Committee certifies Upper-Division Writing Courses (UDWC) as either WRITING INTENSIVE, WRITING COMPLEMENTARY, or THESIS

NOTE
: Each major has its own rules governing how CSUF students fulfill the Upper-Division Writing Requirement. Students should check with their departmental advisors and/or TDA to determine which course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement in their major.
